Hello, soon to be bride or groom!

Chris Aram Photography  was voted a Best of Weddings 2011 pick. Thank you to my fantastic brides and grooms!

Thanks for stopping by! I'm Chris Aram, and this is my personal blog, which is mostly what happens when I'm behind a lense doing what I really enjoy: making awesome pictures, capturing awesome moments and working with awesome people!

Speaking of awesome things I enjoy, I am happily married to my beautiful wife and really enjoy spending time with her, our two children and our family and friends. Throw in a little PS3, music and eating (too much sometimes), and you've got a pretty good idea of what I like to do.

If you're interested in working with me, please don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail at chrisaram@hotmail.com or by phone at 614.973.9599.

A Great Idea : Guest Signin Albums!

May 12, 2010

We’ve all been to weddings where there was a guestbook in front of the church or reception to be signed by loved ones who join the happy couple for their most special day together. Trouble is, how much fun is it for the happy couple to go back weeks or months later and read line after line of signatures?

“Ah, Uncle Frank was there … that’s his handwriting and his name. … I like Uncle Frank.”

Something about wide, open white spaces can bring out the sentimental genius in all of us. :) An opportunity to write a personal, heartfelt message … or wax eloquent on just how lucky the groom is to be marrying a woman way out of his league. ;-) (I am such a man, by the way.)

For an even greater personal touch, how about an album? Yes, an album that can be signed! If I’m photographing your wedding, we’ve already shot an engagement session together: a chance to get a lot of fun photos in a variety of laid back settings, pictures that show off your personalities, what makes you click and the love you two share. Which is what makes guest sign in albums – which are just what they sound like – a really cool way of showing off these pictures! Here is what Angie and Ryan just had at their wedding:

My wife and I enjoy looking at our engagement pictures to this day. I have several in my office, we have given them to friends and family and they remain some of the best photos we have of the two of us. And albums are the perfect way to tell your story through your pictures. I love designing them!

If you’re interested in a guest signin album, please give me a call or drop me an email to chat about it! I’d love to show you a sample and talk with you about the possibilities! :D

I myself buy from and would recommend the following camera retailers to any one! They offer good prices and top shelf service. In particular, both Adorama and B&H are great resources for learning and I've always found their staff to be very helpful and knowledgeable. I'd so appreciate it if you use the links below to begin shopping; it won't cost you an extra cent but I'll earn a small commission which will allow me to spend more time answering your questions and helping others!
